BOY SCOUT TROOP 72

2004 Lawn and Garden Supply Fundraiser
Instructions to Scouts 

1.         With your parents’ permission, please provide your coach with your home e-mail address.  This will enable you to update each other and share forms, if necessary.

 2        Be sure to put your name and telephone number on all forms.

 3          Use the form provided to keep a record of the houses at which you have left the order forms.

 4.         If you need more flyers, please contact your team coach.

 5.         When you return to collect the order, check off the house number from the list.  If no one is at home,
                     the list will serve as a reminder for you to return.

6.         PLEASE CHECK EACH ORDER CAREFULLY TO MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR CUSTOMER UNDERSTAND IT AND TO MAKE SURE ALL ARITHMETIC IS CORRECT.  Your coach will be glad to assist you in any way necessary.

 7.         Be sure to make a copy of each order to keep for yourself so you will know where to make the deliveries and to aid you next year with return-customers.

 8.         Use one order blank as a “master” on which you tally up the total number of each product you have sold.  (Example: If you sold 2 white azaleas each to 3 different customers, put a 6 on the quantity line next to White Azalea.)  This master order form must be turned in to your coach by Monday, March 8, 2004.

 9.         Most items will be delivered to the Troop on Saturday, April 3, 2004.  Please note: You will need a parent or other adult to help you make deliveries.  Your coach will tell you when and where to pick up your customers’ orders.

 10.     The Mother’s Day live plants, hanging baskets, bulbs and perennials will be ready on Saturday, May 1, 2004 so you must remind customers who order them that they will be delivered at a date different from the other products.

 11.       When you deliver the orders, attach the order form to the material and collect the money due.  Checks are to be made payable to “Boy Scout Troop 72." Scout’s name should be written on the check. 

12.       Money should be given to your team leader as soon as you receive it.  All money must be turned in by Monday, May 10, 2004.  No commissions will be paid until all proceeds have been received.
